Looks great Pete, your wiring of the comms is always superb.

Spent nearly an hour looking at the work you put into wiring up the comm and ECM systems on this. Absolutely amazing what that does to enhance the build!

Very nice model you have Pete, thanks for showing it here. Saved photos from your build for reference to my kit later. One question Pete, what brand is the big box for the eod bomb suites?

Roger,
Sorry for not mentioning the manufacturer of the "tough box." It came from the Meng Modern U.S.Military Individual Load-Carrying Equipment kit# SPS-015.

Another lovely detailed build Pete! I have tried, and failed, and just don't know how you manage to do all that wiring....

Sean,
I was the Commo Chief at my last unit and part of my job was installing all the comms. I just picture myself in 1/35 and I'm doing a comms instal on the real thing.
What seems to be the problem your having Sean?

Getting the wires to stay stuck Pete. I've tried so many different materials and glues but just can't seem to work at that tiny scale without leaving a huge mess. Get one end of a cable in place but attaching to other end wherever and the first join comes apart...
Maybe it's thick fingers or shakey hands or poor eyesight but for me it's just too frustrating. I'm in awe of what you and others manage to achieve in terms of realism
